I was checking out at the grocery store while a man behind me was complaining to his wife that it was taking too long for the checker to ring up my coupons. When the checker gave me my receipt and told me I had saved $27, the man turned to his wife and said “Why don’t YOU use those things!”
Have the coupons for the items you’re buying ready BEFORE you get to the cashier. I use coupons but I never hold up the line scrabbling around in my purse for them.
My Father (who appeared to be a ‘sweet’ old man) got my small bottles of instant coffee for free for months by using the coffee coupon with tripple store coupons. The coffee cost cost $0.99 and the coupon was for $0.35. When he was cought by a young, smart clerk, he appeared confused and innocent. She let the transaction go through that ‘one last time’.
One of my girlfriends was a cashier at a Target Store years ago. She had all kinds of stories about people and coupons. The senior citizens were the absolute worst. They did not bother to read the conditions under which you could use the coupon, i.e. buy two items to get the discount. They would stand and argue for 10 minutes over a 15-cent difference in price. A few times the store manager had to be called over to try to explain why the coupon in question could only be redeemed under certain circumstances.

And don’t be afraid to use any good ‘ol currency like pennies. Just be sure to carefully count ’em out to make sure the clerk doesn’t rip you off.

I’m disappointed in Rose’s mom. Turns out she does have bad qualities.

You were too thoughtless to get out your coupon before you got up to the register and you’re holding up four other people. BE EMBARRASSED.

If she can’t find it, then Clem probably hogged it (yesterday’s strip).

Gee, all the hate towards Mee Maw just for using coupons. So somebody saving money is tantamount to being an ax murderer? WOW!!!

No, it’s using coupons and not being ready with them at the check out.
